None of us really see the point in drag racing. I do that every time I come onto a straight except at the end of those few seconds I don't have to go park in the staging lanes for 30 minutes just to wait to do it again. It just doesn't compare to flying around a road course wheel to wheel. This car I would imagine would easily run a 12 even with our non drag racing selves driving, some others would certainly be able to squeeze more time out of it but its not worth the time. The LS2 car will see the drag strip just for sh1ts and giggles since that will blow the minds of the rednecks around here. Lea Anne, you're one of the few who remembers where this car started. I still have the T-shirt with the pic of that car sitting in the ditch all mangled up. Lord its come a long way since then.

Jimmy asked if it would be ok for him to pull the chute on the drag car at the end of an auto-x...I told him that I didn't think people would care so much about that, but picking up EVERY cone on the course b/c of the car's lack of a turning radius, haha.

Like I said on MR, I'm interested to see how this car progresses!

Cool, looks good. I am doing similar with my car, except leaving it NA with itb's. I am working on a full rear diffuser right now out of a diffuser from a Ferrari F430 challenge car.

I made that thong, you were standing right there. In a bit I'm going to post some pics of the motor as it went together.

Until you put a car on the back bumper for 100 feet or so you never will.
To each his own but I like racing of any kind whether it be road course, drag racing, dirt track, ATV, Motocross, asphalt, etc..

Hey WTF is the chrome moly looking part in the box? I am not very educated on the Miata's but it does appear to be chrome moly in that pic.

Good luck with the build.

Not sure what moly piece you're looking at. If you're talking about the NACA duct under the diff its actually made of plastic. Its job is to pull air from under the car to blow on the diff since it won't get any airflow with the paneling under it.

I see the gauge boxes, another box, a black hose maybe and then the only thing that resembles chrome moly to me.
